Downpipe spacer plate – 30mm projection for cast iron downpipe.
UK delivery from £30. Fittings are despatched boxed. See delivery rates.
The downpipe spacer plate holds a cast iron downpipe away from the wall surface with a 30mm projection, creating a standoff between the pipe body and the masonry face. The plate is fixed to the wall and the pipe clip or strap bracket is then fixed through or to the plate, positioning the pipe at a consistent distance from the wall along the full run.
A 30mm standoff allows air to circulate behind the pipe, preventing the damp accumulation and accelerated corrosion that can occur when a cast iron pipe sits in direct contact with a masonry wall — particularly on stone or lime-mortared walls where moisture retention is higher. Suitable for use with round, square, and rectangular cast iron downpipes. For specification support, call 0333 987 4452.

Yes. The ornamental foliate pattern was widely used in Victorian construction and is appropriate for Grade II listed buildings and conservation area properties. Its decorative character is often preferable to a plain pattern on prominent or formal elevations. We recommend confirming the pattern with your conservation officer as part of any listed building consent application.
